    Yea!

    How fortunate to have his name called from the list in the nick of time, though I'm sure it feels like a lifetime ago now.   Best wishes with recovery and wishing you both well.

    It so good to hear this news! You may have to tie him up to get him to rest. You know the saying "You can't keep a good man down.............."

    Thank you all for your warm responses!

    Wolfen....

     

    You would think so, wouldn't you.  But, just like a child, he had to learn.  2 days after discharge, he tried to fix dinner.  Now, he is usually the cook, but I remembered when I first came home from the birth of my daughter trying to fix dinner and ending up ordering pizza it was SUCH a disaster.

    He got about 1/3 of the way through, and then started barking orders at me.  I looked at him and said, with all due respect, "The doctor today told you your body would tell you when you were doing too much.  If you want to continue, do it yourself...and give my portion to the dog (dutch expression)."  It was a disaster, and he was in severe pain for 2 days after.  

    Sometimes I just need to let him scrape his knees.  I am now the cook.  He is now the patient.  He has now returned back to the healing level he was 4 days ago....lost time, IMHO!  If only he would listen to 'momma'....*grin*!

    On the other side of it, though, is that this same fighting spirit is what has made recovery faster.  That, and an incredible young heart!  I have an obligation to 2 lives now, one, my beau's, the other, the beautiful heart and the life of the donor that made this all possible!

    Hugs, Kathi
